"Barangay Ginebra San Miguel head coach Tim Cone expressed confidence in Riley Grigsby, saying the 26-year-old earned the team’s trust after receiving strong endorsements from coaches during his stint in the NBA G League.
Cone confirmed to Fastbreak on Thursday that Ginebra has tapped Grigsby to reinforce the Kings in the PBA Season 50 Governors’ Cup while resident import Justin Brownlee continues his recovery from multiple leg injuries.
“He’s 26 years old and has had NBA G League experience and has come with some strong recommendations from his coaches there,” Cone said. “We’re excited about working with him.”
Grigsby arrives with experience in the NBA G League after suiting up for the Santa Cruz Warriors and later the Sioux Falls Skyforce during the 2025-26 season. Before that, he played professionally in Luxembourg following his collegiate career at Seattle University."
Out of Archbishop Mitty, the 6-foot-6 Grigsby wasted no time making his presence felt, erupting for 42 POINTS, 13 REBOUNDS, and 2 BLOCKS in his debut with Barangay Ginebra San Miguel of the Philippine Basketball Association.
